DuPage County Clerk and States Attorney Asked to Investigate Milton Township

From Adam Andrzejewski -

HINSDALE, IL – Adam Andrzejewski, Chairman of For the Good of Illinois PAC,
sent a Letter of Notice to DuPage County Clerk Gary King and DuPage
County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin. The subject of the notice is the
filing of the Milton Township Budget Ordinances, a statutory
responsibility of the Township Clerk under 35 ILCS 200/18-50.

On March 27, 2012, the Board approved one
set of numbers at a Township Public Budget Hearing. But another set of
numbers was officially filed with County Clerk Gary King’s Office on
March 29, 2012.

Andrzejewski states, “Approving a
township annual budget is a simple process. But two elected officials,
Clerk Gail Hinkle and Supervisor Chris Heidorn submitted budget
ordinances with numbers that had not been voted on and then falsified
meeting minutes to cover it up.”

Andrzejewski’s organization has spent the
last five months exposing the malfeasance of the Milton Township
Supervisor, Clerk, and Board of Trustees majority (see stories HERE). This Letter of Notice
is the latest discovery in his efforts to clean up Milton Township.

An email exchange between Supervisor
Heidorn and Clerk Gail Hinkle indicates they realized the wrong numbers
were voted on by the Board. While an amendment process is available to
Township officials, there is no evidence that the Clerk and Supervisor
availed themselves of this option.

The video of the meeting provides evidence that the following dollar amounts were voted upon:Town Fund: $2,663,709 and Road Fund: $1,909,016.

The Budget Ordinances filed with the County Clerk’s office on March 29 are as follows:Town Fund: $2,320,383 and Road Fund: $1,917,484.

Andrzejewski is calling on DuPage
County Clerk Gary King and State’s Attorney Bob Berlin to use the
resources of their offices to open an investigation into Milton
Township’s handling of their statutory duties in the filing of the
annual Budget Ordinances.
